Routing in Indigo
In a recent post I make reference to an interesting Skonnard's article about routing SOAP messages. Following this line I spent a few hours in this morning making test about the routing features in Indigo. Routing messages between services in Indigo is very simple. You only need to program a router (a simple application) and add the routing policy. A router acts on a Indigo port. A router can act over a message content and using a SOAP role in the message (Indigo also have a powerful mechanism to filter messages). Exist a RuleManager which is responsible manages all the rules.
